The largest regional venue with 25,181 seats in football configuration, built on the principle of 'English-style' stadiums, Stade Océane offers maximum visibility and conviviality to all its users. Wrapped in ETFE Teflon, a bluish translucent polymer membrane alternatively transparent or opaque and letting light filter through, it was also voted 'Best New Stadium' in 2013 (see box below).<\/p>
Designed for efficient and smooth operation, Stade Océane is also the first positive energy stadium in France: it indeed produces more energy than it consumes, contributing to the reduction of its carbon footprint. When pleasure meets environmental responsibility...<\/p>
Another first in France, the operation of this magnificent tool serving everyone is entrusted to HAC: initiator of the project, the Doyen Club is both tenant and exclusive operator of Stade Océane through its subsidiary Océane Stadium. In addition to the Ciel et Marine matches, Océane Stadium organizes exhibitions, seminars, congresses, etc., throughout the year, offering new services and unprecedented benefits in the Le Havre region: individuals, companies, or associations can thus appropriate this emblematic place for the duration of an event, a ceremony, a gathering.<\/p>
